Free estate‑planning workshop draws a full house; attorney gives phone and website

Attorney Trichell Young told listeners the May Center estate-planning workshop was well attended and provided practical instruction to help residents preserve assets and simplify probate processes. “Our estate planning workshop at the May Center was a great success,” she said, noting handouts and a standing-room audience.

Young said the workshop covered wills, durable and special powers of attorney, trusts including living trusts and "ladybird" deeds (an enhanced life estate), and strategies to avoid probate. She urged residents to follow up using the intake phone number given on-air, (810) 239-6302, or the law office website noted during the program, youngandyounglaw.com.

The broadcast positioned the event as one part of the city’s effort to connect residents with legal and other support services. The mayor and other guests praised volunteers who helped organize the session and encouraged residents to use available resources.
